The San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site is not very far out of the way when going to/from Houston Hobby airport. I've decided to try to swing by as often as I can in hopes of catching the monument in interesting light and sky. On my most recent trip, I tried at sunrise (mostly a grey blanket of clouds with brief moments of sun on the monument) and in late afternoon (a bit too early to get really interesting light). This is certainly a case of being at the right place at the right time, so I will keep trying. I'm looking forward to future attempts during colder weather - fewer mosquitos!
